Words and Faces of Imerys Workers in Sylacauga, Alabama

Rickey Harris - Laboratory

I have been employed at IMERYS (ECC) for 17 years. I believe in equal pay for equal work. At the present time I am training my co-worker to perform my job and he is paid $1.00 more an hour than I am. At the present time without union representation I have no method to correct this injustice. This is one reason I am working to have PACE International Union be my representative.

Donald Holman - Mill

I believe in the Union because I believe in my fellow workers and in working together to achieve a common good that is good for all, not just a few.

Eugene Landers - Shipping

I believe in the Union because I believe in a better balance between management and the worker. I believe the Union will help the employees come together with management to form a stronger, more efficient company for all to benefit from.

Charles B. Stephens - Maintenance

I am fighting for job security, job safety, seniority, and fair labor practices so that myself and my fellow workers have a voice that really does matter in the workplace.

Anthony Williams - Utility

I work in an environment where who you know, or who you are related to, will get you promoted higher, faster, and farther than the strong work principles of HARD WORK, HONESTY, LOYALTY, and TAKING PRIDE in your work.
